Alright, the first of my weird gadgets has arrived.
It's the most mundane of the three weird gadgets. It's a portable external monitor.
What makes it special for me is that it has HDMI in, USB-C Video in, two USB-C Ports, Power distribution over USB-C , okay built in speakers, and a headphone jack.
So I can connect it up with a single cable to a device with a single USB-C port and have a second 15.6" 1080p monitor.
And when my battery wanes, I can plug my power brick in to my monitor and charge over the same cable that is delivering ideo to the monitor.
This is currently being tested on my System 76 Lemura pro, as I type this on one screen, and watch Yor The Hunter from the Future in VLC on the other screen.
